Deal has ended, view more AmEx offers deals by clicking here.

The Offer

No direct link, targeted offer

  • Get 5% back as a statement credit by using your enrolled Card to make purchases in-store or online at a U.S. Supermarket by 8/31/2020. Limit of $10 in total statement credits.

The Fine Print

  • Offer valid for in-store and online eligible purchases at U.S. Supermarkets. An “eligible purchase” means a purchase made with your enrolled Card at a U.S. supermarket location by 8/31/2020.
  • “Supermarket” means a standalone merchant in the U.S. primarily selling supermarket products.
  • Excludes gasoline purchases and gift card purchases.
  • Specialty Food Stores, Superstores, and Warehouse Clubs are not considered Supermarket stores.

Our Verdict

This offer is showing on some cards. Interestingly, readers note in the comments that some are seeing this on some points-earning cards as well.

Max this out with $200 in purchases. $10 isn’t much, but for me it’s literally free money as I found this on my Blue Cash Preferred which I use at the grocery anyway. Nice that it works for online supermarkets as well.

  • @chucksithe This offer is back on my BCE, with an expiration date of 12/31/22 and a limit of $20 instead of $10. Terms appear to be the same, except the new offer adds "Excludes pharmacy and indoor vendor purchases such as coffee shops and restaurants." During the 2020 offer, I recall having success buying gift cards (mixed in with normal purchases to make the receipt totals less obvious) despite being theoretically excluded. Of course, they may have gotten wise in the intervening years.

  • I added this to my card a month ago and have been on my merry way charging $200 in normal grocery purchases over the past few weeks. I just logged in and found that the offer has disappeared from being "added to card" and I haven't gotten any 5% credits for grocery spend. Thanks Amex! So typical.

  • Please can anyone give examples of stores where this works?
    Sorry for my ignorance. I understand walmart does not work.

    • Meal kit services also seem to work, like Blue Apron. Also Whole Foods, Trader Joe's.

    • for example in florida publix, sprouts, win dixie are all considered groceries. possibly neighborhood market, but not sure on that one. basically anything that is mainly groceries and basic household products. no walmart, target, etc

  • Is this an one-time offer? I mean, we will get 5% for only one transaction before 8/31? or any number of transactions before 8/31?

  • I got this on the AmEx Platinum. Note, it also stacks as I was credited for it along with the SunBasket offer they have right now ($25 back on $70+ spend)

  • Not that I'm going to have any trouble maxing this out before it expires in August, but does anyone know if I'll get credited if I activated the offer shortly after making the purchase (but before it posts)? I was at the supermarket today and used the card, then activated when I got home.

  • Got this on my Gold card, which is amazing - stacking this with the regular 4x on groceries is pretty amazing.

  • Offer seems to be on AMEX's "own" non-business cards, like Blue and Platinum. Not on cards like Delta and Hilton. It obviously would be more interesting on a card which pays a bonus for supermarket spend. I generally use my USBank Altitude Reserve card on google pay for 4.5% back at supermarkets, so the offer is trivial to me. If Safeway runs another promo giving me 10 bucks back on a $200 gift card, though, I might use it to buy the gift card (buying gift cards with the Altitude Reserve bonus is supposedly risky).
